This is a competently-made sci-fi horror flick, but it lacks surprises and as a result doesnt always manage to build genuine tension.
Science Fiction
Little Shop Of Horrors
A great musical, a fantastic comedy and a darkly satirical sci-fi and make sure you pay attention to the lyrics of the songs or youll miss out on some of the best laughs of the lot.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence
This is a reasonably sound sci-fi fantasy, but hardly the great masterwork that was promised.
The Matrix: Reloaded
While you cant help but be impressed by the computer-aided stunts and FX, the fact remains that this sequel isnt fit to clean the original movies boots. A major disappointment.
Fargo
An odd cross between a farcical comedy and a crime thriller, with some peculiar characters in an unusual setting. It shouldnt work but it does, resulting in a fine film that defies expectations.
Lighthouse
This is a workmanlike slasher film with a fair amount of blood and guts, a creepy killer, some atmosphere, and decent use of its location, but without that something special to make it really stand out.
